TPV TechnologyHaving worked with other design agencies before, CRE8 has really exceeded my expectations by delivering better results compared with my previous experiences. They make the process easy for our collaboration.Chris Brown

Global Product Marketing Manager

Having worked with other design agencies before, CRE8 has really exceeded my expectations by delivering better results compared with my previous experiences. They make the process easy for our collaboration. Not only is their work consistently accomplished on time, I am also very pleased that, for each creative brief, the CRE8’s team goes beyond our request and comes up with many more good images for our marketing campaigns.

Another great thing about CRE8 is their international vibes. Many design companies can only deal with projects from a regional perspective, but CRE8 really understands our needs as well as our market in Europe and China.

CorsairI rank CRE8 DESIGN as one of the best PD firms I’ve worked with, due to their high level of energy and ability to design concepts that are aesthetically pleasing while meeting stringent functional requirements.Martin Mueller

Senior Director of Engineering

As a Senior Director of Engineering at Corsair, I worked closely with the CRE8 DESIGN team on six projects from 2010 through 2013. The design projects ranged from our award-winning Dominator Platinum series of DRAM modules and recently introduced Vengeance Pro series of DRAM modules to the Flash Voyager GT Turbo USB Flash Drive and Voyager Air portable wireless drive. Working with CRE8 during the design process was a pleasure because they maintained a positive attitude and high level of energy even when faced with demanding deadlines. In addition, I very much appreciated that they worked within the physical constraints for the components needed to build the actual product, as well as designing concepts that were aesthetically pleasing while meeting functional requirements. I’ve worked with several design houses, and I rank CRE8 DESIGN as one of the best.

CRE8 helped build this brand and develop a consistent design language that works across the overall branding, product, UI and packaging experience.Jonathan Lin

Drawing on over 10 years of experience collaborating with CRE8 DESIGN, what jumps out immediately is CRE8’s multicultural team of designers and its ability to inject creative input from different perspectives and infuse a wide range of variety into our projects.

CRE8’s designers listened carefully to clients and their expressed desires, but at the same time, CRE8 was able to bring new ideas to the table for discussion. I enjoyed very much how we always inspired each other, especially in our collaboration for our latest project - bPoint. CRE8 helped build this brand and develop a consistent design language that works across the overall branding, product, UI and packaging experience. I am particularly impressed by CRE8’s take on bPoint’s logo design - CRE8 made every effort to understand our essence and to translate this new brand’s philosophy into iconic graphics. I would definitely recommend CRE8 to other companies for their exceptional performance.

SHL GROUPCRE8’s truly innovative packaging for both the Molly and DAI auto injectors invites use right out of the box, demonstrating once again that their team knows how to make functionality cool – and they have the awards to prove it.Steven Kaufman

Director of Marketing

As the #1 private supplier of auto injectors, pen injectors, and inhaler systems to the largest pharmaceutical and biotech firms in the world, we thrive on innovation. With clients like Pfizer and Amgen, our packaging needs to be as striking and intuitive as our client solutions while meeting exacting standards. CRE8 meshed seamlessly with our in-house Marketing team to produce a launch kit and package for Molly, our first pre-configured auto injector. Instead of enmeshing Molly in bubble wrap at its launch, we could show it to the world in a sleek, streamlined enclosure.

CRE8’s truly innovative packaging for both the Molly and DAI auto injectors invites use right out of the box. CRE8’s design team knows how to make functionality cool – and they have the awards to prove it. And did I mention their project managers? They are the best, and they keep us coming back for more. We’re planning to make a splash at a major trade show in November, and again, CRE8 will help us do it.

Best BuyI have worked closely with CRE8 DESIGN for the past 1.5 years and the team delivered a nicely balanced range of concepts providing us the opportunity to easily pinpoint the design that best met our goals.

Senior Product Manager, Best Buy

I have worked closely with CRE8 DESIGN for the past 1.5 years, including our collaboration on Best Buy’s recently released – and already popular - Bluetooth Indoor/Outdoor Speaker. CRE8 listened well to our initial proposal and design goals. Their design team delivered a nicely balanced range of concepts - from more traditional to cutting-edge - providing us the opportunity to easily pinpoint the design that best met our goals. The iterative process in selecting the final design proceeded smoothly, bolstered by good teamwork between the Best Buy and CRE8 teams. CRE8 was also very helpful with the transition from design concept to manufacturable product, assisting us in making the right tradeoffs to balance design and cost. The end result certainly met our expectations - customers rave about our Indoor/Outdoor speaker’s overall design and fit/finish.

COUGARWhen searching for an innovative partner to help us devise our new gaming mouse and keyboard, we were happy to see that CRE8’s style was just what we were looking for. CRE8 demonstrated their expertise in every aspect of design. I am particularly impressed by how they designed the exterior of the products as well as their understanding and application of ergonomics.Lio Huang

Brand Director, COUGAR

Having worked at COUGAR for 6 years till now, we never cease to provide enthusiasts with cutting-edge gaming products. So when my team was searching for an innovative design partner who can help us devise our new gaming mouse and keyboard, we were happy to find out that CRE8’s style was just what we were looking for.

During the process of our very first collaboration, CRE8 demonstrated their expertise in every aspect of design. I am particularly impressed by how they designed the exterior of the products as well as their understanding and application of ergonomics. Many foam models were made in order to achieve perfection and in the end result, the tactility of the products was amazing. The outcome met our expectation completely.

Product Development Director for Exclusive Brands

“As Product Development Director for Exclusive Brands at Best Buy, I'm in charge of selecting and working with design firms that can provide the high level of innovation we need to develop exciting and unique products that stand out in a crowded marketplace. For the past seven years, I've worked with CRE8 DESIGN on over 20 projects under our Rocketfish brand, including iPad and tablet accessories that have won major design awards (iF, Red Dot).

Without exception, everyone on the CRE8 team has been great: creative, responsive, timely. The design team's 2D and 3D renderings are perfect. Presentations are impressive, and CRE8 goes above and beyond to depict future possibilities while addressing current design challenges. At the same time, they set realistic expectations, which we truly appreciate. With CRE8, we're 100 percent confident that they can manufacture any concept they show us, since they're experts at predicting costs and materials, and they have invaluable relationships with Asian manufacturers and vendors. They can - and do - visit factories to provide manufacturing liaison, ensuring that mock-ups are accurate and quality is maintained. This is just one more value-add that CRE8 provides to us.”

DELLThe CRE8 team always went the extra mile to exceed the design brief, seeking the next breakthrough that would engage our customers with a no-nonsense, yet highly energetic approach.Jonathan Biddle

Senior Industrial Design Manager

I engaged CRE8's product design services over the course of more than a dozen projects in my role as a Senior Industrial Design Manager at Dell. These projects included strategic design language formation, innovation projects focusing on user experience, and targeted tactical projects in the areas of desktops, laptops, and computer accessories. The CRE8 team always went the extra mile to exceed the design brief, seeking the next breakthrough that would engage our customers with a no-nonsense, yet highly energetic approach.

CorsairIn the course of working on some of our most visible, high-end products, CRE8 has consistently translated our vision to designs that hit the nail on the head.George Makris

Product Manager, Cases & Cooling

I’ve worked with the CRE8 DESIGN team on a range of projects over the past 2.5 years, including some of our most visible products like the 350D and 900D Obsidian Series gaming PC cases, along with the Air Series fan twin packs and Dominator Airflow II fan. CRE8 is very responsive, and we know they will translate our intent to designs that will hit the nail on the head. The CRE8 team has a great design sensibility for the more elegant, high-end offerings in our line, like the 900D, a stellar product all the way around. I would definitely engage CRE8 again.

SteelSeriesI had the pleasure of working with CRE8 to develop the world’s first 15-button MMO mouse and its iconic packaging; only a cutting – edge design firm like CRE8 could prove that it was flexible enough to transpose an established game brand onto a product and make it look and feel like it was part of the gaming world.Philippe Brindamour

Art Director

Most people in the gaming world are familiar with the popular ‘World of Warcraft®’ series of products. I had the pleasure of working with the CRE8 team to develop the world's first 15-button MMO mouse and the "treasure chest" packaging under that iconic brand. We followed this with two additional projects – a revised iteration for the World of Warcraft®: Cataclysm™ game expansion and a smaller, mass-market version of that successful gaming tool.

We chose CRE8 out of a crowded field of competitors. When we took a close look at their portfolio, we knew the fit would be right. It was essential that we partner with a design firm that was cutting-edge and flexible enough to be able to transpose an established game brand onto a product and make it look and feel like it was part of the gaming world. We needed this type of mindset to help define a very unique new brand. We started out with industrial design, and when we found that our manufacturer didn’t have the capacity for mechanical engineering, we turned that over to CRE8 as well. Then the CRE8 team translated the World of Warcraft® look and feel to the design and structure of the packaging that would house this game-changing mouse. The product was a phenomenal success and is still selling as a collectible to this day.

The CRE8 team was timely and very responsive, and I found that project manager Willie Wu was on the same wavelength I was – this streamlined the process and guaranteed exciting solutions. I truly enjoyed working with CRE8 at a pivotal time in our company’s history.

CorsairKris and the CRE8 team are as passionate about our business as we are, helping us reimagine the gaming mouse, keyboard and headset while creating a visually outstanding and functionally innovative series of products. Ruben Mookerjee

Vice President General Manager, Gaming + Audio Products

Kris and the CRE8 team have been our close partners since 2010 in reimagining the gaming mouse, keyboard and headset. They are as passionate about our business as we are. They took our technical and mechanical design specs and applied their own eye for detail and understanding of materials and finishes to create a visually outstanding and functionally innovative series of products. We love their ability to listen and understand the subject and only then add their own insights and twists, which makes them a joy to work with, and is a stark contrast to some designers we’ve known. They communicate well, their work is thorough, and the team is incredibly responsive – aided by their proximity to our Taipei-based manufacturing partners. We consider them an integral part of our team here at Corsair, and a key ingredient to our success.

3Q LTDCRE8’s design and branding of our high-end tablet PC packaging exceeded my expectations, and we look forward to expanding our engagement with this talented, smart, and professional group that produces consistently superior solutions.Pavel Rekunov

Art Director

I met the CRE8 DESIGN team at Computex in 2012, and I was struck by the high quality of CRE8’s work in view of their competitive pricing. I asked CRE8’s packaging and graphic design teams to design and brand premium packaging – including providing a range of pictograms – for some of our high-end tablet PCs. The results exceeded my expectations, and everyone is happy – our company, customers, and dealers. Our competitors definitely took notice. The entire CRE8 packaging/graphic design team is talented, smart, friendly, and professional, including Design Manager Dilon Lee. Another thing I really appreciate: Turnover is virtually nonexistent, so CRE8’s innovative team has worked together for years, building up a creative synergy that results in fast turnaround and superior solutions. We look forward to expanding our engagement with CRE8 in the future.
